- Research the company and the role before the call
- Test your camera, microphone, and connection for video interviews
- Answer with concrete examples, not adjectives
- Be honest about notice periods and documents — surprises kill offers
- Prepare one thoughtful question about the project or site
Most interviews are decided early. Preparation is what separates confident candidates from nervous ones.
Research the company before the call: what they build, where they operate, and what the role involves. One thoughtful question about the project or site tells an interviewer more than a rehearsed speech.
For video interviews, test your connection, camera, and microphone in advance, sit somewhere quiet with light on your face, and keep your documents within reach. Dress as you would for an in-person meeting.
Answer with examples, not claims. 'I supervised a crew of twelve on tower formwork' beats 'I am a hard worker'. If you don't know an answer, say so and explain how you would find out — interviewers value honesty over bluffing.
Always be truthful about notice periods, documents, and availability. Surprises after an offer are the fastest way to lose it, and honesty up front protects you as much as the employer.
